It will be held at 7:30 p.m. at The Bailey-Matthews Shell Museum on Sanibel. The presentation will be given by Dr. Jose H. Leal, director of the Shell Museum. "Many shells change form dramatically as they grow ", r ' ^*- "*•£* "" from their lanal stage to adult stage. A snail's shell grows - - ,v ' -" ;i at its "mouth.' or aperture, which increases in size around its axis. As a result, a fully grown shell includes not only the part built during adult life, but also the remains of the tiny • t'. shell formed by the animal during Ian al life. What remains ' J of the larval shell is called protoeonch," explains Dr. Leal. His presentation will explore many shapes and adaptations of larval shells and protoconchs of marine mollusks. He adds. "Shell collectors regard protoconchs as an extra bonus hidden in a beautiful shell. Like the fully grown adults, protoconchs can be contemplated solely for their delicate and .sometimes inlricale beauty. Coexistence of both the larval and adult shell in the same 'package' occurs because of peculiar growth patterns of marine snails. Despite the bedazzling change at metamorphosis, these animals preserve their original shelter as remnants of more turbulent, bygone days." * i , -• .','• Dr. Leal was hired to direct the Shell Museum in February 1996.
